Product Configurations

Storage arrays supported New or existing EqualLogic PS arrays with version 7.0 or later firmware

Capacity and bandwidth expansionUp to 509TB usable file capacity in a single name space. One or two FS7600 or FS7610 appliances in a NAS cluster.Two Intel 1 GbE four-port NICS per controller.

Two Intel 10GbE dual-port NICs per controller.10GbE can be either SFP+ or Base-T standards, and accommodate both copper and optical connectivity.

Client connectivity over Ethernet, SAN connectivity over iSCSI Ethernet switch is required; direct connect to the SAN is not supported.NAS appliance Each NAS appliance has a pair of controllers in an active-active configuration, using cache mirroring and an integrated backup power supply. Each controller contains 24GB auto-adaptive R/W RAM- based cache and two quad core Intel® processors.

Memory sizeEach controller has 24GB of memory (48GB per appliance) and its own backup battery that provides power sufficient to de-stage cache contents to a non-volatile internal storage device in the event of a power failure.

Store more in less space

New deduplication and compression technologies found in FluidFS v3 can decrease the capacity you’ll need to store common data by up to 48%.* Fluid Data Reduction technology also has the ability to automatically compress data, further reducing your data footprint and TCO.

Easily increase performance by adding a second FS7600 or FS7610 appliance.

Intuitively manage block and file operations with EqualLogic Group Manager or CLI.
